LONDON — The International Olympic Committee has defended NBC for not showing the men’s 100-meter final live on its main network.

Usain Bolt dashed to victory in the signature event of the London Olympics on Sunday at 4:50 p.m EDT. NBC broadcast the race hours later on tape-delay in prime time.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams says “it’s certainly not for us to tell them how to reach their audience.” Adams says NBC live-streamed the race for online viewers, so “if you wanted live, you could get it live.”

NBC has exclusive U.S. for the London Games. It struck a $2.2 billion deal with the IOC in 2003, which included rights to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

NBC has broadcast every Summer Olympics since 1988.

Look at the questioning here! This event is a must LIVE!

They showed it at 11:15 pm ET on a Sunday the day before school starts and all parents and kids go to bed early. I'd bet the ratings would be through the roof!

It's 84 degrees, cloudy with occasional showers today. I'm so glad school starts. I had enough with two kids staying home the whole summer!

I can work from home some days. On the days my wife has to work. It's like a mad house on these days.

Imagine having 35 of them in one room for 8 hours straight, forcing them to do things they don't want to do, and getting paid less than $1 per kid per hour

 

[Tomato]

Only 17 more days fuck

Are you a teacher Tomato? I always admire teachers. I wouldn't have the patience to do what they go through.

Sounds like my brother and his wife. They also leave out the 10 weeks off in summer,two weeks in winter, and one in spring. Doesn't sound so bad now.

My business drops 20% next week when the Suburban kids go back.

They start August 20th here. NBC's coverage sucks ugly hairy monkeys.

Not all counties here start the same time. Ours starts the earliest. When I was in school back home school started in the middle of September. I have no clue why it starts so early here.
